Abstract

Es ist hierbei vorgesehen, in einer Aufnahme eines Vakuumhebers über Saugrohre (5, 6) Saugöffnungen zur Erfassung eines Werkstückes zu schaffen. Hierbei ist jedes Saugrohr zur Vakuumzuführung individuell ansteuerbar. Eine einfache Ausbildung wird durch höhenverstellbare Saugrohre gebildet, die einzeln über Hubmagnete (7, 8) betätigbar sind und eine von der Vakuumzuführung abgetrennte zurückgezogene Ruheposition in eine aus der Aufnahme hervortretende Arbeitsposition einstellbar ist.It is provided here to create suction openings in a receptacle of a vacuum lifter via suction pipes (5, 6) for gripping a workpiece. Each suction pipe for vacuum supply can be controlled individually. A simple design is formed by height-adjustable suction tubes which can be actuated individually via lifting magnets (7, 8) and a retracted rest position separated from the vacuum supply can be adjusted into a working position emerging from the receptacle.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Aufnehmen und Ablegen von Zuschnitten, wie Prepreg-, Stoff-, Folien- oder Plattenzuschnitte, in Form eines Vakuumhebers.The invention relates to a device for receiving and depositing blanks, such as prepreg, fabric, foil or plate blanks, in the form of a vacuum lifter.

Ausbildungen dieser Art werden bei der Fertigung von Bauteilen als Werkzeug eingesetzt und sind in vielfälti­gen Ausgestaltungen bekannt geworden. Es hat sich aber in der Paraxis gezeigt, daß beim Einsatz in einer automatischen Serienfertigung als Werkzeug für Roboter Probleme bestehen, falls unterschiedliche Zuschnitte verwendet werden und ein Anhaften oder Verschieben von gelagerten benachbarten Zuschnitten nicht auszuschließen ist sowie ein Vakuumverlust bei freien Aufnahmebereichen eintritt.Training of this type is used as a tool in the manufacture of components and has become known in a variety of configurations. However, it has been shown in practice that there are problems when used in automatic series production as a tool for robots, if different blanks are used and sticking or shifting of stored adjacent blanks cannot be ruled out, and there is a vacuum loss in free pick-up areas.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung zu verbessern und mit geringem Aufwand eine einfache Anordnung zu schaffen, die eine flexible An­passung der gebildeten Saugfläche an die Werkstück­geometrie ermöglicht und somit eine individuelle Berück­sichtigung der Verhältnisse gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to improve a generic device and with little effort To create a simple arrangement that allows flexible adaptation of the suction surface formed to the workpiece geometry and thus ensures an individual consideration of the conditions.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß da­durch, daß eine Vielzahl von Saugrohren zur Bildung von Saugöffnungen an einer Aufnahme rasterartig verteilt angeordnet ist und jedes Saugrohr zur Vakuumzuführung individuell ansteuerbar ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a multiplicity of suction tubes for forming suction openings is arranged in a grid-like manner on a receptacle and each suction tube can be controlled individually for the vacuum supply.

Somit ist eine Einstellung und Umrüstung je nach Größe und Gewicht der zu handhabenden Werkstücke schnell und individuell möglich, wobei auch der Abstand der Saug­öffnungen zueinander sowie ihre Anzahl entsprechend einschaltbar ist.Adjustment and retrofitting is thus possible quickly and individually, depending on the size and weight of the workpieces to be handled, the distance between the suction openings and their number being switchable accordingly.

Eine vorteilhafte und mit geringem Steueraufwand ein­zusetzende Vorrichtung besteht erfindungsgemäß darin, daß jedes Saugrohr höhenverstellbar in der Aufnahme angeordnet ist und gegen den Druck einer Feder über einen zugeordneten Hubmagneten, aus einer von der Vakuumzuführung abgetrennten zurückgezogenen Ruheposition in eine mit der Vakuumzuführung verbundenen, aus der Aufnahme hervortretenden Arbeitsposition einstellbar ist.An advantageous device which can be used with little control effort is, according to the invention, that each suction pipe is arranged in a height-adjustable manner in the receptacle and against the pressure of a spring via an associated lifting magnet, from a retracted rest position separated from the vacuum feeder into a receptacle connected to the vacuum feeder, from the receptacle protruding working position is adjustable.

Eine einfache Abdichtung zur Vakuumzuführung wird da­durch geschaffen, daß das Saugrohr mit seiner Eintritts­öffnung in der zurückgezogenen Ruheposition an einem zugeordneten Dichtgummielement der Begrenzung als Ab­schluß anliegt.A simple seal for the vacuum supply is created in that the suction pipe, with its inlet opening in the retracted rest position, bears against an associated sealing rubber element of the boundary as a closure.

Für das Heben von Kunststoff- und Glasplatten wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Saugöffnungen der Saugrohre durch Saugnäpfe gebildet sind.For the lifting of plastic and glass plates, it is proposed that the suction openings of the suction pipes are formed by suction cups.

Um die Einrichtung der Vorrichtung auf wiederholt eingesetzte unterschiedliche Werkstücke zu vereinfachen, ist vorgesehen, daß die einzelnen Saugrohre entsprechend der vorliegenden Zuschnittsgeometrie und/oder des Gewichtes des Zuschnittes über einen Rechner ansteuerbar sind.In order to simplify the installation of the device on repeatedly used different workpieces, it is provided that the individual suction pipes can be controlled by a computer in accordance with the existing cutting geometry and / or the weight of the cutting.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Er­findung schematisch dargestellt. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 einen Teilschnitt durch eine Vorrichtung,
  • Fig. 2 eine Teildraufsicht auf eine Aufnahme­fläche ohne Deck- und Führungsplatte.
In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown schematically. Show it:
  • 1 is a partial section through a device,
  • Fig. 2 is a partial plan view of a receiving surface without a cover and guide plate.

Bei der dargestellten Ausbildung wird die Aufnahme durch eine kastenförmige Anordnung aus Deckplatte 1, Seiten­wand 2 und Bodenplatte 3 gebildet. Der dadurch um­schlossene Raum wird als Vakuumraum 12 mit einem nicht näher dargestellten Vakuumerzeuger versorgt. Die Boden­platte 3 als Aufnahmebereich für ein Werkstück besitzt Öffnungen zum Druchtritt von rasterförmig angeordneten Saugrohren 5,6, die über Federn 11 in der zurück­gezogenen Ruheposition gehalten werden und durch eine Führungsplatte 4 geführt sind. Dabei liegen die Saug­rohre 5,6 in dieser Ruheposition an der Deckplatte 1 an und werden über ein zwischengeschaltetes Dichtgummi­element 9 mit ihren Eintrittsöffnungen gegenüber dem Vakuumraum abgedichtet.In the embodiment shown, the receptacle is formed by a box-shaped arrangement of cover plate 1, side wall 2 and base plate 3. The space enclosed thereby is supplied as a vacuum space 12 with a vacuum generator, not shown. The base plate 3 as a receiving area for a workpiece has openings for the passage of grid-shaped suction tubes 5, 6, which are held in the retracted rest position by springs 11 and are guided by a guide plate 4. In this rest position, the suction pipes 5, 6 rest on the cover plate 1 and are sealed with their inlet openings from the vacuum space by means of an interposed sealing rubber element 9.

Jedes Saugrohr 5,6 ist über einen Betätigungshebel 10, der mit einem Hubmagneten 7,8 verbunden ist, in eine hervortretende Arbeitsposition einstellbar. Hierbei wird auch die Eintrittsöffnung des Saugrohres 5,6 freigegeben und mit dem Vakuumraum 12 verbunden. Somit ist jedes Saugrohr 5,6 über den zugeordneten Hubmagneten 7,8 auf einfache Weise individuell ansteuerbar und mit Vakuum versorgbar.Each suction tube 5, 6 can be set into a protruding working position via an actuating lever 10, which is connected to a lifting magnet 7, 8. In this case, the inlet opening of the suction pipe 5, 6 is also opened and connected to the vacuum space 12. Each suction pipe 5, 6 can thus be individually controlled in a simple manner and can be supplied with a vacuum via the associated lifting magnet 7, 8.
